If airexpresss marr is 10 per year what would you advise


AirExpress bought a used Boeing 757 plane 5 years ago for $35,000,000. At the time the plane was bought, it was estimated that it would have a service life of 10 years and its salvage value at the end of its service life would be $10,000,000. AirExpress’s CFO has recently proposed to replace the old plane with a modern Boeing 777 plane that is expected to last for 15 years. The new plane will cost $75,000,000, will provide $3,000,000 savings in operating and maintenance costs, will increase revenues by $5,000,000, and will have $20,000,000 salvage value (after 15 years). The seller of the new plane is willing to trade in the old plane for its current fair market value, which is $8,000,000. The CFO estimates that if the old plane is kept for 5 more years, its salvage value will be $4,000,000. If AirExpress’s MARR is 10% per year, what would you advise the company to do -- keep the old plane or replace it with the new plane? Solve the problem using replacement analysis.
